Local Server, 1017

[Wumpas]

Heres some more help to get you started.

note:minilogin from the Files page works for me

loginserver.ini shiould look like this

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
loginport=5999
worldname=Old Torsis
worldaddress=127.0.0.1 <<<<NOTICE THIS for Minilogin
locked=false

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

MAKE SURE WORLD ADDRESS READS 127.0.0.1 if using Minilogin !!!

Next run minilogin and read the port its using it will look like this

LoginServer.ini read.
MiniLoginAccounts.ini read.
Server mode: Standalone
Login server listening on port:5999

the port number is the 5999 on mine it may be diffrent depending on what minilogin you are using this is inportant because the port number in your EQhost.txt has to match !!!

[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}

}

the localhost in eqhost.txt can also be switched with your internal IP adress. 192.168.1.100 or whatever it is.

note: bring up a command prompt and type Ipconfig to confirm your address.

make Miniloginacounts.ini read exactly this

# Max 200 lines total (including comments and blank lines)
# Blank lines may mess up the line # reported in error messages
localhost eqemu eqemu

Ensure there are no extra blank lines and 1 space after the last eqemu or whatever your password is going to be.

Next make sure Boot5zones looks like this

REM:--------------Start-----------------------
@echo off

if NOT exist spells_en.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . localhost 7996 localhost
start zone . localhost 7997 localhost
start zone . localhost 7998 localhost
start zone . localhost 7999 localhost
start zone . localhost 8000 localhost
exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE

REM:---------------END------------------------

You can have as many as you want here just make sure the port numbers go up consecutively and you dont have any doubles.

you can replace the localhosts in there with your ip adress as well if you are on a network.

Note: If your PC is off the network and you still want to play you need to put localhost in everywhere you have your IP adress just make sure you leave world adress alone.

and last but not least make sure your database is set up correctly

1. Bring up the run box from the start menu and browse to mysql.exe in the mysql/bin folder.
2. Double click it so its in the run box and type -uroot behind everything with one space in between should look like this

C:\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -uroot

note: The mysql service has to be running for this to work.

now type Create database "database name no quotes";
source "DB file name no quotes ie TCS_blah.sql";

after its all done sourcing in type this

Grant all Privileges on *.* to username@localhost identified by 'password' with grant option;

Next type

INSERT INTO account SET name='username', password='password', status=200;

Make sure you include the ' single apostrophes in the statements they are important.

You should be all set now let me know how this works.
